01The challenge

Dr. Abdul Basit, an orthopedic surgeon, wanted to establish a strong digital presence, build professional credibility, and attract potential patients through organic social media growth.

When we started working together, his social media accounts had almost no established audience.

The goal was to build a recognisable medical personal brand by transforming his expertise into engaging, educational and accessible digital content.

02The strategy

I developed and implemented a comprehensive medical podcast-driven content strategy across his social media platforms, converting long-form medical discussions into content that educates audiences, builds trust and expands organic reach.

  1. 01

    Medical podcast strategy

    Developed podcast topics covering orthopedic health, common medical conditions, treatment options, patient awareness and healthcare education.

  2. 02

    Content repurposing

    Transformed long-form podcast episodes into multiple short-form videos, reels and social media clips.

  3. 03

    Multi-platform management

    Developed and managed a coordinated content strategy across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

  4. 04

    Educational storytelling

    Simplified complex medical information into relatable and engaging content.

  5. 05

    Consistent publishing

    Established a structured content distribution workflow to maximise organic reach and engagement.

  6. 06

    Personal brand development

    Positioned Dr. Abdul Basit as an accessible, recognisable medical professional through valuable educational content.

03The results

100K organic followers in 12 months.

The campaign achieved two major milestones during its first year, and the audience has kept growing throughout the ongoing partnership.
